Suspect nabbed following fiery murder

Police in Northam have arrested a 24 year old murder suspect but are still trying to identify his two alleged victims who were found lying dead on the floor with serious burn wounds throughout their bodies.

Limpopo Police spokesperson Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe says the arrest follows an incident on a farm outside Northam on Friday where police were called to a scene and found the entire building engulfed in flames.

He says Police and other responders tried to extinguish the fire but were unsuccessful and were unable to rescue those trapped inside because the doors were locked.

Ngoepe says the process of identifying both the deceased aged 30 and 33 is still underway but they were confirmed to be Ugandian Nationals.

He says the suspect, also a Ugandan national, was arrested in Rustenburg in the North West and he will appear before the Northam Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
